Abstract
In a software management system, a software package held in a management station (12) is transferred across a communications network (14) to a plurality of destination terminals (16), of which there may be a large number. In order to save on distribution time, the management station (12) can cause terminals (16) which have received the software package to transmit it to further terminals, until all terminals (16) have received the package.
